NEW LSR-Vtec build 200HP goal
Do you want a real one or a replica? If a replica then search for Private Label Manufacturing or "PLM" for short. You can buy them cheaper on eBay than their website. If you are upgrading cams and valvetrain then you could get away with the Ultra Street, but now we come back to the issue of your self-imposed RPM limit. Everything you are talking about doing is going to shift your powerband.
You really need to figure out what you want exactly. You are asking for many things to happen in a physically impossible space. Do you want to run certain parts and make power or do you want to stick with a silly number. You have forged bottom end parts - stop worrying about revving the engine. If you want to be strict then stop yourself at 9k assuming the engine still is making power that high. If it runs out of steam lower than so be it, but why limit yourself if you are just getting started?

im not worried about my redline at all or revving all i want from the motor is a good power band and reliability which i know if i do this correctly and dont go half *** then it will will be reliable. But i figured for now i would just do a plm tri y Skunk2 pro series intake manifold with a 68-70 mm Throttle Body possibly run my 370 injectors, Aem Fuel rail and FPR, Yonaka Catback, Plm test pipe.
Stock rail and regulator are fine. The added fuel is controlled through the ecu.
As for the steel fittings you can find them from summit racing. Save some cash u dont need earls or another brand name just get the summit brand.
Also I highly recommend a 3 or 3.5inch diameter intake with a velocity stack. U can get the Blox or bbetter yet bpi stack with an air filter

What's your gearing consist of? Don't focus all your attention and money on the motor alone. For a setup like this gearing is where you get the most bang for your buck believe me.
for the OP :
here's something of a project i did way back in 2008
b18c : 81x87.2
stock block w/ p73-A0 usdm b18c5 pistons
pr3/b16a head ported by me w/ 0.010" milling on the head
stock unported ITR IM with ITR throttle connected to a Mugen filter/airbox
Toda (real) 4-2-1 header to a 60mm exhaust pipe (i know small lol) + reso
to a 2.5inch chamberd muffler at the back
11.1:1 static comp on pump gas

had we taken the filter out and put an extension + velocity stack like most dyno runs
id bet we'd have seen closer to 196-198whp maybe even 200whp
cams used :
buddy club spec3
0.448" / 0.464" valve lift (intake/exhaust)
296*/290* advertised duration
250*/247* dur. @0.050"
cam is slightly bigger than a CTR cam, actually close to the same as a skunk2 tuner1 cam
and the s2 Pro1 cam is bigger...
things to look out are the following
*dont overcam the motor (and blame lack of compression or other parts)
*for your exhaust choice and mild aproach.. the ITR IM and throttle is about perfect of a choice.. or the skunk2 Proseries Manifold (save ur money on the ultra series)
wont be that hard to outdo the build i posted..
the 81x89 should pull harder and make a bit more

@d15Beta did you degree those cams at all when you installed them or left them at stock settings?.. I have BC3+ on my LSV at stock.. OP some good info has been provided here so far.. Best advise is to take your time, buy quality parts that compliment your build and goals nicely... and Have fun!
its not bc3+ btw.. its the regular buddyclub spec3
yep i degreed them in... it came out near stock though LOL on the camgear
btw that dynosheet was a comparison run
ITR head + headmiled 0.040" = 12:1 comp on buddyclub spec3 cams
vs
my head + milled 0.010" = 11.1:1 comp on buddyclub spec3 cams
although thats out of topic so LOL
just trying to say... its easy to overdo alot of things on a build
especially compresion and cams.. when everything else has to match and suit well..
eg: his yonaka header might not let bigger cams and more compression breath
with a cat, too

i wil be running a PLM tri y with my yonaka Catback but am looking towards either buddy club spec 2 exhaust but will get a **** ton of tickets where im from or a skunk2 megapower exhaust.
And D15 beta wow i hope my build will pul your 08bulds numbers but like you i want everything to flow together not just fight eachother

Update guys, Stripped the interior and re sprayed it with Bed Armor due to my carpet always being wet so i figured i would seal the floor with that stuff i re died my carpet as well Also got pics of my build for you guys Enjoy-







Out with the old in the with new

haha ya it would probably catch on fire, he works at lowes so its the laminating woodgrain they sale pretty ghetto but hey gotta be unique
Hey guys here is an update finally ordered my Piston rings and All of my gaskets by Cometic will be updating with pictures this saturday. Keep up the feedack.
Hey guys Sorry for the late update but got most of all my parts still waiting on finding out if i need oversized rod bearings or standard gotta run to harbor freight to grab a dial to check the rod specs but here are the late pictures.





Slight port and polish on the head




Here is the head with ITR cams and Tru Time cam Gears

My crank-

Pistons-

Came with these Rod bearings but i know not to use used ones

New parts

Update guys, i put on my pil pump today and new thermostat tomorrow will be getting my timing belt kit and putting on my water pump will be getting the Girlfriends help since she is wanting to help me with the build !
I do have one question for you guys and that what is the best way to find out if my Rod Bearings are oversized i know that taking them to a machine shop is the easiest but dont really want to pay for someone to do it i want to learn things on my own hence why im doing all i can on my own I would greatly appreciate some input on that ! thank you guys and keep up with the feedback and responds!

Here is the new oil pump installed-

Some parts that came in today-


Found out my block is from H&M motors sorta a surprise now a days
